Excerpt from My Egotistigraphy The generation to which Chester Hard ing belonged has passed OE the stage. There must be many still living, however, who can recall him as an old man of command ing presence, with white hair and ¿owing beard, whose uncommonly tall figure, though slightly bowed by age, was still enough above the average height to make him con spicuous in any assembly and whose hand some face expressed kindliness and humor. Nature was bountiful to him in an unusual degree, and to uncommon personal attrae tions added a mind of more than ordinary power, quick perceptions, and a love for the beautiful in nature and art. He was so ready to see and assimilate into his own be ing all the refinements of cultivated men and manners that, for those who saw him for the first time, it was dificult to believe that he was absolutely without school educa tion, and that he had grown to maturity in the wilds of what was then the far West.
